I think a lot of people have some sort of morbid fascination -- I think it's part of human nature to be curious, confounded, want to know more, want to know why.

But the whole "haha lolz omg this killer was such a fool" while true, definitely...helps take the teeth off of what happened, the people affected -- there's the whole we know the names of the killers, but we don't remember the names of all the people they killed. And these were people who were dear to someone who in many cases is still alive. Like I get it a bit, there are some fucked up things that I treat nonchalantly. But over time, some of those things have changed and should be treated with a certain level of respect, at least for the victim. I think listening to casefile was what kind of changed my mind about it. He always treated the cases respectfully, there was no joking around, no lulz, none of that at all. And some episodes were distressing, others I skipped entirely until I eventually stopped listening because that's a lot of negative energy I don't need. But the thought of listening to "lmao murder" after that...just puts a rancid taste in my mouth. Again, looking at it from different perspectives maybe it makes people feel like they can learn/if found in a situation they know what to look out for because it's not all doom and gloom and very srs, but....murder and all that fucked up shit is very serious and not a game.

I recently started listening to Was I in a Cult, and the two hosta were in cults, and they're jokey about things (not the survivors of the cults, whom they invite to share their stories), and again, using humor to deal with traumatic things is a thing; I think it depends on how you approach and treat it. Others disagree with some of their joking around, but I guess we deal with things differently (and I guess personally, the fact that they left cults adds an air of legitimacy to the podcast for me, vs the vibes one would get from someone who was in a cult and is still processing; someone who's just curious or fascinated; a professor/scholar on the subject who may or may not have been in a cult; a therapist/psychologist who deals with deprogramming, and so on.
